EDITOR'S CHOICE -- Specialized S3

1 / 3

With a distinctive forehead grille and huge vertical vents across the back, the S3 resembles Specialized's pricier, lighter Prevail. The similarities don't end with looks: Thanks to a weight of 242 grams (size medium)--the lightest in this group--testers said the S3 felt the same on their heads as the top-end lid. Instead of an adjustable under-ear buckle, the S3's thin, easily adjusted straps join at a three-way splitter, which helps the straps lie flat. Testers also raved about the highly adaptable Ultralight Mindset retention system: Five vertical positions and a simple-to-use dial adjust the helmet's fit on any head. Ventilation was impressive on warm days, and there's also a removable visor. >> Price $150 Weight 242g (M) Info specialized.com
